What does the odd "%" character do in this statement?

Hi John,

No real reason. The programmer must be a little fancy...:)

I will wait with you for more answers though..

Nothing, it is just the data definition. %subrc is variable like any other variable.

Hi,

In this declaration it is nothing to do

it is just a part of the declaration of Variable.

but in other cases, like Select statements in the where condition if you give '%' means LIKE .

reward points if useful

Change it to %_subrc & do an extended synatx check (SLIN ).. you will notice that %_ is reserved for internal use.. It is better not to use special characters at the begining of a variable name..
